I caught a very nasty cold from my daughter. It started last Sunday with a sore throat, now it is a lingering stuffy nose and cough. Onto the card.
I made this card a while back. I tried the layered technique, it is time consuming but makes for a really neat effect.
And a close up look-
I used Ornament Ewe, Copic markers and some old pattern paper I had laying around.
I wanted to do a simple card and this is what I came up with.
I took the Christmas Bulb die and just used a section of the die. Now Emma is holding a string of lights.
I got a chance to play with a Tickled Pink stamp. I colored her and then tried to find matching paper, that was a bad plan. I could only find this little bit of pink pattern paper that matched.
The flowers are made with our new 5 point flowers and the new leaves die.
I colored these 2 last year and the poor little things have been sitting on my craft table ever since.
I love to cut out the images but then you lose their 'grounding", I die cut a little white circle to attach to the feet. then I added in the shadowing with Copics. I think I need to invest or create and oval die to do this, especially when you have 2 characters.
When I designed the key and lock die set I knew I wanted some nice shimmery heavy weight cardstock to make the dies look like real keys. I found some wonderful 107lb cardstock. This cardstock shimmers like you wouldn't believe. Lesa made a card with a key on it and you can see by the picture that the cardstock is full of shimmer.
She used Bronze on this card. We will be releasing 4 colors with this release: Copper, Pewter, Gold, and Bronze.
The cardstock will be sold in single color packs of 5 sheets or a multi-pack of 1 of each color.
Whoo hoo me! I stamped and I am posting it on my blog. This is Sweetheart Birgitta, available Monday January 3rd. My favorite part about drawing her was the striped tights, aren't they just adorable?
The key and lock is a new die set designed to coordinate with the pixies, but I see a lot more uses for them. How about someone that buys a new home? Or even someone that gets there drivers license for the first time?
The pink cardstock is Prisms from Bazzill. It is my favorite paper to use, and will be coming back into the store. We will be selling it in packs of 5 sheets. A couple colors of Prism and a new sparkly cardstock will be available January 3rd. The sparkly cardstock colors will be great to use with the key die set.
Make sure to come back over the next week, we have paper to introduce, stamps, and the new key die that easily snips apart!
We woke up this morning at 6:45 to 1.5" of snow. At 10:30 we are at 3". It is still snowing, suppose to taper off around noon.
Woohoo I am posting! I know one of my new year resolutions will be to post on my blog. My other one should be to be nicer to my electronics. It looks like I am going to need a new laptop really soon. I found one at Costco the other day. It has the ten key on the board, which comes in handy when I am working on the books.
Items used:
It started as rain Saturday around 5:00pm, it rained all night and we woke up Sunday to nothing. Around 8:00am the flurries started, and they kept going, and going, and going. We got about 2" Sunday and then woke up this morning to another 1/2".
This was taken on top of my car, a lot of areas had blowing snow but we seemed to miss it.
This is our backyard, the dog is Honey from this post.
We are watching Wednesday/Thursday because they are taking about a mix of winter weather coming through. I love this time of year!
